The two shingles have also agreed to do the same deal on the remake of “Point Break,” which is in late stage development at Alcon. DMG will distribute both pictures in China, while Warner Brothers will distribute in North America, DMG said in a statement.

“Their track record is unprecedented. To watch DMG’s performance on the US/China collaborations of ‘Looper’ and ‘Iron Man 3’, and then know our movies are following on that kind of success…it’s nothing less than awesome,” they said.

Lensing on “Transcendence” began in June and pic is slated for release in April 2014.
